Ski Access: This property offers convenient ski access through the neighborhood trail system, but it is important to note that it is not a true ski-in/ski-out property. During periods of adequate snow, you can access the neighborhood trail system from the property and ski via the Home Again trail to Base Lodge, where you can connect to the rest of Whitefish Mountain Resort. For your return, the Elk Highlands Lift provides access back to the neighborhood trail system when the lift is operating and snow conditions permit. Please be aware that snow conditions can vary throughout the season. There may be times when the neighborhood trails are not sufficiently covered, requiring you to walk a short distance to reach the ski access. Likewise, the Elk Highlands Lift may not operate when snow conditions are insufficient. For guests prioritizing ski access, this location provides a great option, but we want to be transparent that skiing directly from the property to the mountain and returning directly to the property is not guaranteed throughout the season.

We rented this house for our son's wedding at Glacier National Park. The brides family stayed in the house across the street. Views all around the area are beautiful. Snow capped mountains and Whitefish is a quaint town with great shops and restaurants. The house has plenty of room, more than we needed.

Brown Bear Stay

What a great place to enjoy Montana. Very comfortable and close to all of our day trips. The staff was extremely responsive...had weather related issue and they came right out in a matter of minutes! Quiet area with wildlife every morning just outside the back deck. Loved the park and Pole Bridge area. Will book again if in the area....

Spacious for large family

We had a large family group travel to MT together. This house was located near the ski resort. It was plenty large for our 4 families and the kids loved the hot tub, game room and activities nearby. They had plenty of cooking utensils that made it easy to cook in the house and avoid spending lots of money eating out.

A great family retreat

3 families came together for a weekend together! We cooked, we relaxed and we explored the area. The house layout and size was perfect for our needs and located appropriately to spend time at the mountain and in town. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and hot tub was warm. We couldn't ask for much more.
